about

"I Will Survive" for the 21st century...If you've ever been gaslighted, you know exactly who this song is about. If you are a gaslighter, you are quite sure this song is not about you.

lyrics

When we first met you were charming
Told me what I want to hear
Then every word was poison
And it only fed the fear
Fear that I was crazy
Fear that I was wrong
Fear that I was oh so weak
But now I can be strong

I told you all my secrets
Then slowly day by day
You sharpened them like arrows
And you shot them back my way
But there's one little secret
You may not have known
I never told you anything
I'm not prepared to own

You're a Gaslighter
Tried to get inside my head
Gaslighter
Had me hanging by a thread
Gaslighter
Better find another fool
Better find another fool
Cause I'm so through with you ---

I was
almost sure I wasn't good enough
I was
almost under your spell
But I found a ray of light
Gonna follow it to freedom
Like the rope at the bottom of a well

Well there's nothing left to cry for
There's no one here to miss
The person you pretend to be
Never did exist
You call yourself a winner
But I know one thing is true
There's a room of pain inside your mind
With no one there but you

You're a Gaslighter
Tried to get inside my head
Gaslighter
Had me hanging by a thread
Gaslighter
Better find another fool
Better find another fool
Cause I'm so through with you --

Better find another fool
Cause I'm so through with you
